be too great. In connection with this see my General Letter
No. 29 dated 3rd. May, paragraph 20.
Beyond this point most of the banks are
made with spoil from the tunnel.
From the North Face of the tunnel to
the Tai Wai River the work is heavy on account of the long
lead across the valley through which this river runs. No borrow
pits can be dug here as the valley is liable to heavy floods
the water being some times 3 or 4 feet above ground level,
the flood comes during a high tide.
when
From the Tai Wai River to the North
End of Taipo Station Yard is the critical portion of the line
exposed as it is to the sea. The alignment here has been most
carefully looked into and the Grading arranged so that the banks
and cuttings almost equalise. There is a great deal of rock on
this portion of the line, but it is not of so hard a nature as
might be expected from the look of the hills. Most of the
cuttings are scarped out of the hill side which ought to be
done fairly cheaply.

I have allowed a good deal of pitching
I on the slopes of those banks where exposed to the waves.
propose to pitch all banks up to a reduced level of 212.00 i.e.
12 feet above Ordinary Low Water. Only in a very few places is
the Bank founded below low water and then the position is not
such as would expose the bank to a very long reach.
Some of the earthwork from Taipo to
the frontier was done by the Public Works Department before my
arrival. Nearly all the banks are made from Borrow pits, but
the rates at which the work was let by petty contract were very
large. However His Excellency Sir Matthew Nathan decided that I
should continue at the same rates as he looked upon it as a
breach of contract to close down the works and start afresh.
This accounts for the soft excavation in Paddy land being
booked at $13 per thousand cubic feet. The cost of some Earth-
work
